Portugal vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Prediction: the Hosts to Clinch the Victory

Prediction for the match between Portugal vs Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will take place on June 17. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

The last two top tournaments for Portugal can be considered unsuccessful: to remain without medals for such a strong team is a failure. Getting to the final stage of Euro 2024 should be fine because the opponents are not strong, so they have already claimed two victories at the start, scoring ten goals. Cristiano Ronaldo scored four times, regaining the title of the menace of soccer outsiders. Roberto Martinez's charges defeated the national teams of Liechtenstein (4:0) and Luxembourg (6:0) one after another, and it would be redundant to say anything more about those matches. As for the current squad, Joao Mario, Mateusz Nunes, Selton Biai, Nunu Mendes, and Diogo Leite remained out of the team compared to the last lineup.

The Bosnians have missed the last four top tournaments: the last time they made it to the final stage was at the 2014 World Cup. Miralem Pjanic and Edin Dzeko sit in the top 2 in the number of games for the national team and continue to lead. Sometimes they're doing quite well. In the League of Nations, for example, the team advanced to League A, beating Montenegro, Finland, and Romania. The Euro qualifiers got off to a good start, but after a 3:0 defeat over Iceland, they failed to overcome Slovakia 0:2 away. Compared with those games, the squad will likely stay the same, with Augsburg forward Ermedin Demirovic the only forced loss.

The Portuguese did not encounter resistance at the start, but this opponent was undoubtedly of a higher level than Luxembourg or Liechtenstein. Bosnia and Herzegovina would improve their performance as they scored against the Slovaks on the road. The spectators have seen 15 goals in four games between the teams, so it is not surprising that bookmakers expect almost the most spectacular playing in this match.
